Since end of 2009, I've chosen to sleep by 10.30pm or by latest 11pm. From time to time, there will be different things to deal with e.g. family & friends, work, house, car and etc. Thus is really running out of time for internet/blogging.

More on australia melbourne trip probably after Chinese New Year. Hope I can post some before that if I can finish my current task sooner. See you later :)

A bit further down from Twelve Apostles will be Loch Ard Gorge. There are few walking trails which may take 2-3 hours to complete all. We chosen one light walking trail, I cannot remember at Loch Ard Gorge or London Bridge, around half an hour. There are few information board at parking, for the history and information on Twelve Apostles Marine National Park.

Steps to beach.

Then, the London Bridge or London Arch. Click on the link to learn more on why it fall down :) Of course, if you are there, there is information board explaining the reason with illustration.

If you asked me if it is worth to visit Great Ocean, if you have been driving along 1st Highway and Bodega Bay in US, initially I would think it is almost the same but I think it is different and not comparable. Yes they both have nice ocean view. Great Ocean has the apostles. I believe if you have time to explore, there will be chances to see more wild life in Great Ocean Road, e.g. koala.

The sunset.

It's time to depart to Warrnambool. You may follow the road signboard or GPS direction. The end of Great Ocean story.

When we saw the road sign to Otway National Park light house, our GPS show it is around 35 min drive. We are running out of time, so just have to skip it. If you really want to know Great Ocean deeper, plan for 2 days trip :)

Before reached the Twelve Apostles lookout point, there is one view point. Look, the rain is coming.

The Twelve Apostles lookout point, with restroom facility.

It was rainy at our right, but sunny at our left.

Since it was raining, and windy, better wear yourself sweater. I saw some visitor wear very light (some young lady even wear just short pant and sandal) and their legs are shivering.

From some web comment, Anglesea is a nice town to stop by. We saw something like a flea market, then we went to know more. It is at the open space next to the bowling center, opposite the row of shop. There are stalls selling hotdog, raising fund for local community society, clothes, organic food, CD, books, accessories and etc.

Then we walk to the shop in the opposite, it's about lunch time.

You may find few restaurant here, selling fish and chips, western food, chicken, chinese restaurant and etc. We bought a whole chicken at AUD 11.50 and picnic at the park.

Nuggets and Dim Sim. Dim Sim is a meat dumpling, in usually two sizes, small or big, I usually see it in deep fried. To me, it is not special for a Malaysian Chinese who ate dumpling, 锅贴， gyo za or similar :) Anyway, I am always interested to try local food :D
